Bus Trip: Brooklyn Holiday Lights, Tues., Dec. 12

Then we'll visit two Brooklyn neighborhoods: Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge, renowned for their awesome displays. Please be aware that there is a lot of walking involved, as buses are not permitted on the neighborhood streets. The cost is $101 per person. There are just a few tickets left. Get yours today!
